Huh, what do you mean? Apach, MIT, and BSD are all examples of FLOSS licenses

@kilroy_was_here

that is a common but incorrect misconception, that has even been pushed by OSS organizations. Apache, MIT, BSD all typically refer to copyright licenses that respect the essential freedoms for users to control their computing

@diresock @kilroy_was_here

Any particular reason? Do you think a non pronouncable acronym works better?

@freemo @kilroy_was_here Makes it sound a bit more professional IMO, but mostly dropping the "amateur" part, since that is inherently limiting, and sets the organization up to not being taken seriously, "literal amateurs so who cares?" is what I would think.

There's nothing "amateur" about people with great technical skill working on a passion project, I've seen some very impressive things in my own field built by hobbyists.
That's my take.

@diresock @freemo

Uhhhhhhhhh, don't know how to tell you this except by posting the Wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio

That is the specific thing that this thing would be focused on.

@kilroy_was_here @freemo Uhhhhhhhhh, don't know how to tell you this, calling something "amateur" does not instill confidence.

You can use the term "Ham Radio" instead.
